4 Friends + 1 Mountain for SOS Children 

In October 2009 four friends climbed Mt Kilimanjaro with an aim to raise $15,000 for an SOS Childrens Village in Arusha, Tanzania.

Christina, Farhad, Hussein, Paula set out to climb Mt.Kilimanjaro, the tallest peak in Africa at 5,983 metres.

They completed the climb to raise funds for SOS Children's Villages, specfically the Family Strengthening Program in Arusha, Tanzania.

They also had the opportunity to visit the SOS Children's Villages Arusha Village and the Family Strengthening Program, where they were able to visit with the program manager and see the wonderful work being done to prevent families from abandoning their children.
